    I'm fine with this if it's AAA depth. Please go get a real RH OF who can challenge Kepler for the starting job. Knowing the Twins, this will be the move; players like Adam Jones and McCutchen won't be considered.

    Sure, the league is getting the same paycheck from their TV deal whether 300 million watch it or 1 person. In a way they can control TV ratings and interest by fixing the problems in the game. There's no doubt in my mind people are getting tired of the pace of play, constant pitching changes, and lack of balls in play. It really is a different game compared to 5 years ago, and it's not trending in the right direction... 3 true outcomes is boring!

    Concur concur concur. The Tigers and White Sox aren't going to wait around and continue to suck forever.

    Remaining stagnant probably isn't the best course of action either.

    This WS was a dud and the ratings show it. I heard on the radio this morning this WS was down 40% from the year the Cubs won it. I agree with the reasoning in the Yahoo article. The narratives weren't compelling, and MLB didn't counter back with fans complaining that the game is broken and needs to be fixed.

    Realmuto's agent was on MLB Network Radio today. You'll be SHOCKED to learn Realmuto will not sign an extension and asks to be traded. I think this is for real this time. Someone will get a great catcher for a minimum of 2 seasons.

    I'm not sure we can even put those 2 on the really good list. May had a good short stint after TJS but is far from a proven commodity in the bullpen. Rogers had a lights out 2nd half and a pedestrian 1st half.

    Can't see him getting a guaranteed contract until he shows he can throw 92+ MPH again. His game was built around a great fastball at 93-94 consistently and his hard slider. It's a tough ask to change to a finesse pitcher in your late 30s.

    It was a short lived peak...

    So much for being hand-picked by Falvine.

    Don't forget adding Mejia, Castro, and Pineda off the 60 day DL. So they'll be at 40 already when they add them back.
  13. Vanimal46
    Not a lot of room to add the fringy bubble players when there's already several bubble players on the 40. Are any of these relievers better than Busenitz, Curtiss, and Duffey?

    This is how desensitized we are to school shootings now... A 16 year old student was being bullied by another 16 year old boy in Matthews, NC. The one being bullied brought a gun and shot the bully in the hallway. The school goes on a quick lockdown, and tells the students you can go home if needed, otherwise we will still have class in session. 100 out of the 2200 students left at normal release.

    I love Beto and what he stands for... Lots of people in Austin particularly believe in him where he set the record in donations for his campaign. None that are from corporations, the way it should be. The blue dot will continue to grow with more transplants moving to the state. Unfortunately the sea of red on the outskirts of major cities and by the panhandle is still too deep.

    I nominate you to be President(!) Of the Color Commentator Flexibility Club.

    I don't think I watched enough games to know what their strengths are. They're both fairly young who could be in the role for 20 years if they want. I also wouldn't be opposed to hiring someone outside the Twins' circle of trust for a fresh perspective.
  19. Vanimal46
    That's probably on the horizon too. Dick will be 63 in March, so he may have a year or 2 left before he retires.
  20. Vanimal46
    You called it... Of course he's asking for more.

    http://m.startribune.com/bert-blylevens-fsn-role-reduced-to-50-games-in-2019-and-30-in-2020/498939251/ Less 'California Math' is a good thing. It's time to move on to another analyst. Who do you want to hear more of next season?
  22. Vanimal46
    If we want Keuchel, it'll cost us a draft pick now.
  23. Vanimal46
    I know it's not exactly new in MLB to have incentive-laden contracts but perhaps we'll see an uptick in these type of contracts. It's the closest we can get to paying for current performance instead of past results.
  24. Vanimal46
    Maybe a sign of things to come with fringy type FAs. Low salary with a ton of incentives cooked into the contract.

    The water boil notice is over! Life is good with coffee available again in the office.
